DNA nanotechnology & synthetic biology: a soft twist We exploit intrinsic soft matter properties of biological systems (DNA, proteins,...
The so-called “coffee-ring effect” denotes the accumulation of nonvolatile compounds at the edge of an evaporating sessile drop. This ubiquitous...
We pioneered the use of light to control flows by generating interfacial energy gradients in the presence of photosensitive surfactants. By...
We exploit intrinsic soft matter properties of biological systems (DNA, proteins, membranes) to regulate their functions as well as we implement...
